    Extraction of Windows OEM Product key from my laptop as I am planning to replace the HDD...


    I am planning to replace my HDD with a new SSD but the issue is the sticker of windows product key at the backside of my laptop is not readable anymore. Moreover it was the product key for windows 8. I have read that if I reinstall the windows, it will automatically detect the previous product key install in the PC. So is it valid even after the replacement of hard drive? if not then how to check the windows 10 product key on my laptop. Same help is needed of MS Office 2013 product key.

    :)

    How to extract OEM product key

    Long story short, I changed my old laptop OS to Linux and want to go back to my old Win7. But to download the ISO I need my product key, so can I somehow extract it from the laptop?

    NB: If it's not possible can I run Win10 instead with centrion and 1GB Ram?

    OEM Product Key - Tool Available To Reveal It

    Newer PCs and laptops shipping with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 no longer come with a Certificate of Authenticity attached to the back or bottom of the PC. Instead, PC manufacturers have worked with Microsoft to embed the product key directly into the BIOS or EFI.
    If you need to retrieve the OEM-embedded product key from your PC, you can use this OEM product key utility to extract and show the product key programmed into your PC. Absolutely no user interaction is required, you just run the download and it immediately displays the detected product key. This product key can be used to reinstall Windows 10 and Windows 8 with a clean Windows setup CD to remove bloatware installed by the manufacturer, or to reinstall Windows after a crash or system failure.

    Win10 OEM key extraction. No MSDM tab

    I would like to extract the OEM product key

    Check the packaging or look at the the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) attached to the PC.

    Note:

    • As pointed out by Ramhound in a comment you can (re)install an OEM version of Windows 10 without using the product key.
